Obituary for Robert M. Angello
ROBERT M. ANGELLO
1963-2022
Robert Michael Angello, 59, passed away on November 22, 2022. He was the first of four children born to Patrick and Patricia Angello of West Long Branch, NJ.
In his youth, Rob served as an altar boy at St. Jerome’s Catholic Church in West Long Branch. His love for music blossomed at a young age and he played the trumpet in the Frank Antonides Elementary School band. He was a member of the bowling and ski clubs at Shore Regional High School, where he graduated in 1981.
In his teen years, Rob taught himself to play the drums, for which he had a natural talent. He played with numerous bands, notably The Secret Syde, The Flippity Jibbits and The Blasés. He frequently performed at the Brighton Bar in Long Branch and the Green Parrot in Neptune. He played in many other venues in New Jersey and New York including the iconic CBGBs in Manhattan and Maxwells in Hoboken. He worked in construction and similar jobs until the late 1990s when he became a project manager for New Jersey Transit, where he organized a holiday band with other musician colleagues to entertain at employee parties every year.
In addition to music, Rob had many talents and interests. He was a skilled carpenter who could build or fix just about anything, and he always showed up when someone needed help with home projects or repairs. He was a member of the Jersey Shore Running Club and ran the New York City Marathon in 1998. He coached as a volunteer for the Long Branch Little League for several years in the early 2000s. He was interested in history and photography and he was an excellent cook. He loved to surf and spent a lot of time on the water and the beaches in Long Branch with friends. He was outgoing, social and comical, to put it mildly. He knew a LOT of people and he made all of us laugh.
Most of all, Rob loved to be with his two daughters, Amy and Kasey. He was the ultimate “Fun Dad.” He taught them how to surf and ride bikes, took them on nature walks, and showed them how interesting the world around us can be when we look at it from different angles. He took them on trips to the outer banks of North Carolina and train rides to New York. He was just like one of the kids in the many delightfully chaotic playdates he “instigated” for Amy and Kasey with their cousins and friends.
Rob is predeceased by his parents Patrick Angello and Patricia Welsh Angello. He is survived by his two daughters, Amelia “Amy” Violet Angello and Kasey Elizabeth Angello of Princeton, NJ; sister Karen and her husband Robert Loehr, sister Judy and her husband Ron Lockwood, and brother David, all residing in West Long Branch; and ten nieces and nephews: Ryan, Nolan, Hannah, Shannon, Alexandra (“Ally”) and Daniel (“Danny”), Gillian, Owen, Tori and Mayu.
